About this recipe

These savory meat skewers are a reminder of carefree summer evenings with friends and family for me. Inspired by the simple but flavorful dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, I have refined this recipe over the years. The combination of juicy pork, fresh herbs and a hint of lemon is simply unbeatable. The secret of these skewers lies in the quality of the ingredients and the marinade. The pork loin, also called pork tenderloin, is a particularly tender and lean piece of meat that is ideal for skewers. The olive oil ensures a juicy texture and transports the flavors of the other ingredients. The lemon juice brings a pleasant acidity into play, which wonderfully complements the meat and gives it a fresh note. Oregano, salt and pepper round off the taste profile and give the skewers their typical Mediterranean character. Garlic should not be missing, of course, it provides the necessary spice. The preparation in the Thermomix® is very simple and saves time. First, the garlic is finely chopped, which is done in seconds in the Thermomix®. Then all the ingredients for the marinade are mixed in the mixing bowl. This creates a homogeneous and aromatic marinade that optimally penetrates the meat. It is important that the meat has enough time to marinate, at least two hours, better overnight. This allows it to fully absorb the aromas and becomes particularly tender. Before grilling, the wooden skewers should be soaked in water so that they do not burn. When grilling, it is important to turn the skewers regularly so that they cook evenly and get a nice browning. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can replace the pork with halloumi, tofu or vegetables such as zucchini, peppers and eggplant. There are no limits to the imagination when it comes to spices. Thyme, rosemary or smoked paprika go perfectly with the skewers. Serve the meat skewers with a fresh salad, tzatziki or a delicious flatbread. Grilled vegetables or potato salad also go well with it. The skewers are ideal as finger food for parties or as part of a grill buffet. Leftover skewers can be stored in the refrigerator and eaten cold or warm the next day. They can also be prepared well: The marinated meat can be stored in the refrigerator and only put on the skewers shortly before grilling. This gives you more time for your guests.
